It took Ye Qiu half a day to sign the contract with the factory owner and complete all the procedures.

Afterwards, the factory owner called in many large trucks and took away the important equipment.

However, at Ye Qiu's request, the factory owner summoned a large number of workers overnight and emptied the factory of many things that Ye Qiu had no use for.

Ye Qiu had thought it through clearly: he only wanted the land, nothing else.

"Boss, do you have any construction companies to recommend?" Ye Qiu asked.

“I don’t have much experience in this area, but Xingcheng Construction Company in Beijing is quite good. You can contact them if you need anything,” the boss said.

"good."

Ye Qiu remembered Xingcheng Construction Company.

Ye Qiu was busy until dawn before he was finally able to go home.

Of course, they went back to Hong Zhenzhen's home.

Ye Qiu arrived at the door and found it ajar, not locked.

Without a doubt, this was a door that Hong Zhenzhen had specially left open for him.

Meanwhile, Hong Zhenzhen was asleep on the sofa.

Ye Qiu found a blanket and covered Hong Zhenzhen with it.

But this gentle touch immediately woke Hong Zhenzhen up.

She rubbed her eyes, and after recognizing Ye Qiu, she quickly checked the time on her phone.

"It's past seven o'clock, and you're not coming back until dawn?"

Hong Zhenzhen stared at Ye Qiu, quickly regaining her senses.

"I'm busy with something, I'll be busy until dawn," Ye Qiu said.

"You weren't busy with something, were you out all night with some girl? I don't think you need to rely on me."

Hong Zhenzhen got up and walked towards the bathroom, not giving Ye Qiu time to explain.

Ye Qiu didn't press for an explanation. He lay on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and started planning how to design the new house.

After washing up, Hong Zhenzhen came out and saw Ye Qiu lying there. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Go to your room and sleep. I'll wake Chen Jia up. We should go to work now. No one will disturb your rest."

"No need, I'm going out in a bit." Ye Qiu opened his eyes.

Why are your clothes so dusty? Where did they go?

At this moment, Hong Zhenzhen finally noticed something unusual about Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled but didn't tell Hong Zhen the truth.

Because he wanted to give Hong Zhenzhen a surprise, he made up a random excuse to get by.

"Fine, don't bother talking then, I can't be bothered with you."

Hong Zhenzhen glared at Ye Qiu fiercely.

Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I just came back to see you. I'll go now."

"Go ahead, go ahead, don't tell me, I'm nobody to you," Hong Zhenzhen said.

Ye Qiu left without saying anything more.

After Ye Qiu left, Hong Zhenzhen plopped down on the sofa, lost in thought.

Since Ye Qiu arrived, she has found herself becoming increasingly irritable and having more and more things on her mind.

"Zhenzhen, you're up so early."

Chen Jia came out yawning.

"It's still early, it's almost eight o'clock," Hong Zhenzhen said irritably.

"Hey, are you in a bad mood?" Chen Jia noticed that Hong Zhenzhen was upset, so she immediately sat down next to her and asked, "Is it because Ye Qiu didn't come back last night that you're unhappy?"

"Was I that obvious? No, I wasn't."

Hong Zhenzhen shook her head.

"Tch, still denying it? It's practically written all over your face. Let me give you a friendly reminder: Ye Qiu is the Peerless King, a super strong expert of that level. There are plenty of girls willing to be his concubines. If you're not willing, don't regret it later."

Conversely, even if he's an unparalleled king, you still have a chance to control him, to prevent him from indulging in debauchery and womanizing outside the home, and to prevent situations like last night where he didn't come home at night from happening again.

Chen Jia laughed.

"Is there any way to control him?" Hong Zhenzhen asked subconsciously.

"Oh... I knew it, you still have feelings for him."

Chen Jia grinned mischievously.

Hong Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had been manipulated by the Chen family.

"You brat, instead of scheming against Ye Qiu, you scheme against me. How annoying."

Hong Zhenzhen glared at Chen Jia fiercely.

"Oh, I just wanted to confirm whether you like him or not, and now I do."

"Then tell me, how do we control him?"

"Try being a little more assertive and don't let him go out at night. Test his limits step by step. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

"What if he gets angry and just runs away?"

"So what if you ran away? You're so outstanding, plenty of men will be chasing after you," Chen Jia said.

"Pah, if I were that easily attracted to people, would I have been single for so many years?"

"Well, what I mean is, if he slips away, I'll have a chance, haha."

"You little brat, I knew you had ulterior motives, you deserve a beating."

...

Outside at this moment.

Ye Qiu hailed a taxi and headed to Xingcheng Construction Company.

The architectural style of the company's headquarters caught Ye Qiu's eye. It resembled a series of ancient mansions stacked together, separated by corridors of different styles, yet perfectly integrated. At first glance, it looked like a celestial palace descended to earth.

The most interesting thing is that the building is connected to a large courtyard, which is a small grove of trees and very quiet.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu knew he had come to the right place.

He wanted to build his new home just like this mansion, except that the grove of trees had to be transformed into a peach blossom forest.

Soon, Ye Qiu entered Xingcheng Construction Company, where the receptionist guided him to an architectural planner.

When the planner learned of Ye Qiu's purpose, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "You...do you know how much this will cost? My initial estimate is over a billion. Sir, may I ask if you are building this on your own, or do you have a company team behind you?"
